Julian Malins, QC (1 May 1950) is a retired British barrister and ex-political candidate who served as the Farringdon ward councillor of the City of London[1] and a Governor of the Museum of London.[2]
Early life
Malins was born in Rinteln, West Germany, where his father served as an army priest. Brought up in Ghana, Nigeria and Singapore, he was educated at Brasenose College, Oxford. He studied at The College of Law, and was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 1972 by the Middle Temple and subsequently to the Bars of the Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands and on a case by case basis to other Bars. He was pupil to Baron Alexander of Weedon QC.
Legal career
Malins has served as a Deputy Judge and a Crown Court Recorder since 1990, and is one of England's commercial barristers. An early case was his successful defence of Freeman Ors before the Westminster City Council in 1986.
Malins was retained by Cambridge Analytica to report on its political activities.[3]
In June 2019, the Judicial Conduct Investigation Office released a statement that Recorder Malins had made inappropriate personal comments to a person who appeared in front of him in court. [1]
Political career
As well as being elected a councillor in the City of London, Malins also contested Pontefract and Castleford (UK Parliament constituency) for the Conservatives at the 1987 General Election, where he lost to Labour's Geoffrey Lofthouse.
Malins has now left the Conservative Party and has put himself up as a candidate for The Brexit Party for the Salisbury constituency in the next UK General Election.[4]
He has since been asked to step down by the Brexit Party.
Personal life
His brother Humfrey Malins is British Conservative Party politician.[5]
